FOUND DROWNED.
The Waves Give up Their
Dead.

Capt. Harry G.. Hewitt, of Penns-
grove. was off Fortescue fishing Fri
day mornin ing, about eight O'CLOCK
and was Mortified to notice the body
of human being, tossing about the
waves near his boat. He brought 1t
to the shore, at Fortescue, and cor
oner or Justice of the Peace was sent
for In answer to the summons
Squire E. O. Compton, of Newport, in
company with DIR. A. P. Glandon, also
of Newport, put in an appearance.
The following gentlemen acted as a
jury to inspect the body: DIR. Glandon,
VIM. B. Hines, B. F. Bateman, Peter
G. Coriee, James Gates, j. Campbell,
QuincyL. Hustled They found that the
body was that of a boy, probably thir-
teen years of age, a little more than
four feet tall. He had brown hair.
Well dressed with dark clothes, short
pants. black stockings, and button
shoes. and long red necktie. The face
of the boy was badly decomposed, and
was not recognizable. There were no
marks or cards about the clothing
that would unravel the mystery of the
identity of the person. After taking
all the facts obtainable, the jury an
nounced that the case was one OF accl-
dental drowning, and the body was
inferred in the Newport Cemetery.
The boy had the appearance OF
being city bred, and those at Forte
scue were of the opinion that he had
fallen from passing steamer. A sup
position of one, that the body might
possibly have floated up from Cape
May, could hardly be credited, as
the tides would not, under usual cir
cumstance, allow it.
The flag at Fortescue was lowered,
as a mark of respect, and the sad Incl
dent cast feeling of gloom over all
of the assembly of the island. In
some home there is sorrow over the
loss of that son and brother, and we
sincerely hope that this notice may
find its way to the eyes of that be-
reaved family, that they may at least
have the satisfaction of knowing where
the body of the loved-one is to-day.

NEARLY DROWNED,
Narrow Escape in the Cohan-
sey.

Monday afternoon a number of
young boys went down the Cohansey
in boat and when down by River
side, concluded to go in bathing.
There were five in the party, and
among them a little fellow by the
name of Lippincott. The boys rowed
ashore, and divested themselves of
their clothing, and then pushed the
boat off into the water. They were
having great sport. Some of them
suggested the overturning of the boat
in the water, and washing it out. Ac-
cordingly the five boys got upon one
side of the boat, and with a lunge
pulled the boat entirely over. All of
the boys cleared the boat but Lippin-
colt. He was struck in the back of
the neck by the rim of the boat, and
stunned. The other boys did not no
tice it, and paid no attention to him,
and one and all commenced to climb
on the bottom of the overturned boat.
When they were all on top they
noticed Lippincott was not among
their number. They looked about,
but could not see him. One and all
they slid into the water. One of them
dived under the boat, and there was
the boy, almost unconscious, making
a few efforts to keep himself above the
water. One of the boys seized him,
and brought him out, and with assis-
tance got him on top of the boat, and
towed him ashore, where he soon re-
covered from the effects of the blow.
The boys did not continue their swim,
however, and soon returned to this
city, feeling very grateful that loss of
life had not been the result of the trip.

Colored Camp Meeting.

1t is seldom that the Bowentown
road has been so used as it was Sun
day. 1t was the time of hold the Mt.
Zion A. NJ E. Camp Meeting in Loomis'
woods just on the South side of the
City Gravel pit. Hundreds of colored
people from Bridgeton, Springtown
and Jehokaville were in attendance.
1t was the first camp meeting held by
this church for a long time and the
success is gratifying. The services
were held in the afternoon and even
ing. In the afternoon Rev. Mr..
Walters, of Springtown, preached.
The Reverend gentleman delivered his
discourse from raised stand in the
grove over which was a cover and in
front of the stand were seats made
from lumber carted there on Satur-
day for the purpose. Mr.. James
Roberts, of this city led the singing.
The evening service was brought to
and abrupt close by the gently falling
of the rain about eight o'clock. Rev.
Mr.. Newton, of the Mt. Zion A. NJ. E.
church was to have preached.
There was large tent in the grove
from which refreshments of all kinds
were dispensed. Ice cream, sand
witches, cakes, confectionery and
tobacco and segars were sold all day
long. Ike Cohen with his Bayside
hack ran to and from the Camp to
Bridgeton and did pretty good
business. A number of livery and
private rigs were noticed among the
throng. A large number of young
men also went out on bicycles. Every
thing passed off nicely and there was
no trouble of any kind. The day was
quietly passed and during the preach
ing attention was paid to the speaker.
A few of the younger ones sentimen-
TALLY inclined wandered off in the
grove, and for few hours enjoyed
themselves in each others company.

liquor only as member OF the club.
She told all of the members by book
of names she had. Mr.. Sheppard then
took her in hand and the cross-exam-
ination was quite interesting. Mrs.
Leake's memory had failed terribly
since few.months ago. Mr.. Sheppard
got out of patience with her Il don't
remember" and frankly contradicted
her and said that she knew great
deal more than she would admit. This
made Mr.. Ware indignant, much to
the amusement of the crowd. She
could remember after a time thpt she
sold a glass of cider to Daniel Clark
and gave him glass of whiskey. She
denied selling whiskey this way to
anyone else. After little more of
unimportant evidence was disclosed,
the case rested and Mr. Ware arose to
speak for his client. He said that the
Law and Order League were bounding
this poor woman. They had closed up
her business and were now endeavoring
to make her pay fine of $25 for the
simple purpose of getting the petty
sum of $3.50 for their tyranny. He
asked that Mrs. Leake be acquitted.
Mr. Sheppard followed and said that
in his opinion the woman was un-
doubtedly guilty. He read opinions
and cited instances where Courts had
held that this club business system
was merely an evasion of the law.
His argument was clear, concise and
forcible and carried conviction with it.
He defended the Law and Order
League, and gave opposing counsel
several hard raps. Heasked that Mrs.
Leake be convicted. Mayor Dubois
in few words told how the laws were
being evaded at all times and it must
be stopped. He then fined Mrs. Leake
the sum of money mentioned above.
